BEYOND: The caduseus has been a sym­bol of occult sci­ence for many cen­turies. Med­ical prac­tice adopted it as a sym­bol of their prac­tice from its older roots. Like eso­teric spir­i­tual mys­ter­ies, mod­ern med­i­cine is a com­bi­na­tion of work­ing with intu­ition, research, exper­i­men­ta­tion and break­ing into new ground with the poten­tial for dra­matic results. Mod­ern med­i­cine works from the phys­i­cal to effect the phys­i­cal, eso­teric prac­tices work from the spir­i­tual to effect all lev­els of being.
